알빌로스 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Time and again, river valleys must be crossed along the pilgrimage route—like the Arlanzón here in Burgos. The bridges are sometimes comparatively modern, sometimes medieval, and sometimes even older. But always, and this is the main thing, they bring us—not only, of course, but also us pilgrims—safely to the other side.

Under the bridge there is a green leisure area, parallel to the river, with shade and grass where you can lie down in the shade by the river.

It represents the faces of Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela, and Mahatma Gandhi, three universal figures of peace, science, and human rights. It is accompanied by the yellow arrow, the symbol of the Camino de Santiago, making it a visual reference point for walkers. It is located at the edge of the town, heading toward Hornillos del Camino, on a wall visible from the official Camino route.

The mural of Einstein, Mandela, and Gandhi in Rabé de las Calzadas (Burgos) is a well-known work among pilgrims on the French Way of St. James, especially for its symbolic location.

Hornillos del Camino, in the province of Burgos, is an emblematic town on the French Way of St. James, with an urban structure that reflects its Jacobean vocation: a single street, Calle Real, runs through the town from east to west.

The San Pablo Bridge is one of Burgos' most iconic bridges, located over the Arlanzón River. Since the Middle Ages, its main function has been to connect the Plaza del Mío Cid with the Plaza del Conde de Castro, facilitating access to the market and relieving congestion on the old Santa María Bridge.

Formerly known as the Lesser Market Square, it is now the center of the city's social life. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, when it was used to hold weekly markets, hence the name Lesser Market Square. However, throughout its history, it has also been known as Royal Square, Constitution Square, or Republic Square. Built in 1221 in the Gothic style by King Ferdinand III and Bishop Don Mauricio, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.

Its construction began on July 20, 1221, at the initiative of King Ferdinand III the Saint and Bishop Maurice. It replaced an old 11th-century Romanesque cathedral, promoted by Alfonso VI. It was consecrated in 1260, although services had already been held there since 1230. Throughout the 15th to 18th centuries, extensions and renovations were carried out in Flamboyant Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles.
